Hi Catalyst Team, Hats off on great work with the framework. I am a total novice and so far the learning has been really rewarding. Thanks
I do have a few clarifications at this instance in time. If you can help me out with the same it would help me out in toto. I was going through the getting started for Catalyst and Ruby on Rails. (RoR) This reference article on RoR http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2006/12/14/revisiting-ruby-on-rails-revisited.html?page=2 claims that it does automatic generation of HTML forms and other Database scripts. (to an extent). They call it scaffolding. Is this possible with Catalyst? If so to what extent and how? Also I see references in many Catalyst info pages - which mention about DB handling done via Class::DBI or the latest DBIx:Class. Also other mentions are Catalyst::Enzyme for things like Form Validation. - CRUD Framework in Catalyst is provided by Catalyst::Enzyme It says Form Validation is also in there, but not clear what all it includes. ( Data::FormValidator ) Can you please clarify on this concept? Thanks. Specially how far can we go with things like automanagement of the Database integrated from a HTML view which involves Field validation. eg. If a table has a Date field and that field gets displayed on a HTML Form View, then the user should be able to enter only proper dates in that Date field in the Form. Does Catalyst or any plugins enable this? Appreciate all your inputs. Thanks Dister.
